In the end, Leon could transform into a giant that had five heads, and each head could activate one of those song skills, but since it was scary, he soon stopped that. Although it was more efficient to use all the skills at the same time, those songs were Area of Effect skills, so they could affect several enemies at the same time, thus making the skills level up faster.
"Although it is weird, it is also kind of cool to attack monsters using songs," Leon nodded to himself. "It is also tiring for someone like who isn't used to singing, but I bet this could be useful in the hands of humans non-combatants."
Since that kind of skill also can't be countered by any resistance, it was very useful. Besides, even those tone-deaf like Leon could use it perfectly... magic could really perform miracles.

Although those skills were useful and were leveling up at an astonishing speed, Leon still had to use several other spells. Thanks to it, part of the power he received from spirits also reached the max level.
"It is kind of scary that I managed to make so many skills reach the max level..." Leon frowned. "I honestly thought several times that I wouldn't live long to reach that stage."
Leon was pretty sure that leveling up skills would be much easier when he obtains Sekundez's power, but he always had to consider the chance of failure. If the worst comes to the worst, he wouldn't have any other choice but kill Sekundez and to do that. He would need a lot of power. Considering that Sekundez could control time and even survived those hordes of monsters and even can use freely the power of a skill that cost one trillion coins, it was clear that Leon was much weaker than her.
Even though Leon wanted to put all his worries aside, he couldn't help but wonder when he would face the last monster of the fourth stage. After counting the number of mithril statues, Leon concluded that two hundred and fifty years had passed the trial begun. Roughly, one hundred twenty years have passed since the first monster of the fourth stage appeared, and he still couldn't see the end in sight.

The best thing Leon could do was to train, so he practiced his new spells after copying them from monsters he found in the past.
"I just hope that I can learn Mindscape Transportation before..." Leon said but then suddenly stopped.
All of a sudden, dozens of zombies started to leave the ocean from all sides of the island. That surprised Leon a lot since they usually only appeared at the points close to Leon. Regardless, the increase in the number didn't surprise Leon. What did surprise him was the appearance of the zombies. Some of them had mithril parts like Crik and his underlings...
"Just what the hell is going?" Leon frowned. "If they got attacked, why Ilyana didn't tell me that? No... perhaps they were attacked while I was on the first trial."
In any case, the difficulty increased by a lot, Leon hoped that he would learn his new overpowered skill after a few decades, but at that rate, it wouldn't be weird if he only learns it in two hundred years.
Leon used Death's Embrace, a spell that instantly freezes everything nearby. Although the spell was powerful, it wasn't at a level where it could instantly freeze such powerful zombies. Leon also summoned his cold and explosive cores, but their effective range decreased greatly for some reason.
"It must be because of the zombies since they are sturdier, they can absorb a lot more damage," Leon concluded.
Although it wasn't as nearly as effective as it was in the past, Leon still used Acid Sphere, Acid Arrow, and Acid Bullets over the horde of zombies that were quickly climbing the tower. It would be more effective to use Acid Rain, but Leon still wanted status points... since he couldn't obtain coins from zombies, if he doesn't get status points, he would genuinely be wasting time.
In the end, by using Fast Conjuration and Multi-Conjuration, Leon managed to slow down the zombies a little bit. Despite that, even though the skills were leveling up at an astonishing pace, eventually, the zombies would reach Leon, or at least their weight would knock down that tower.
"Such annoying creatures... I guess it can't be helped," Leon clicked his tongue. "This kind of skill would force me to use the Soul Eater's mana... but it is better than using skills that already are at the max level."
